I'm interested in this one if it performs well stopped down. Wide open doesn't interest me much, but as a travel lens and for use with 77mm filters (and my Lee Holder) this could be ideal. Great price point too. Let's see....

Thanks for a nice review. I am really looking forward to your lens comparisons. I have been pleased with the performance of my copy and am curious about how well it competes with other lenses such as the 16-35mm.
